Tom, I looked a while back for a set of BBS wheels and wasn't able to turn any up. I came across these new wheels from TSW... TSW Nurburgring. The Corvette guys are running them and seem to like them. They appear to be a good mix of performance and value. They are "rotary forged" and are light...I think the 18x10.5 weigh ~21lbs according to a Corvette vendor. They will run about $1000 for 4 from Discount Tire.

Do you think the backspace and offset are good?

I put a set of Enkei RPF1's 18X10's 38 mm bs on my GTS. Had to have the centers bored and relief cut in center back for my hubs. Don't know which hubs you have or if all of our cars are the same. Cost me $300 each (Tire Rack) plus $50 from a local machine shop to modify each center. Bought six and only have a couple of laps on them so I cant give you any feedback yet.

I have set of older GTS 17" X 9" BBS's for sale but I don't think they are what you need.

The 27 offset should work great. You'd use it without the front spacer and the wheel will sit just a little further out than it does now. If memory serves the spacer is ~.465". That means this wheel will sit ~1/4" further out (w/ no spacer) than the current 17x9 BBS w/ spacer setup. I did the math a while back and was convinced they will fit well. You'll need to machine at least the rears to fit over the lip on the rear axle.
